We are looking for urban farmers that want to save water and grow high-quality leafy greens to supply the growing partner network.
This is a turn-key farm in a box that has a footprint of 1m^2 and an output equivalent to 16.67m^2. That is 16x more productive than growing on the ground.
All you need to do is add water and watch it grow ✅
What grows in the GroTower
The GroTower can grow all leafy green vegetables including 120x head of lettuce or 20 cabbage per square meter.
GroTower – How much water is used?
Depending on your situation your GroTower will use 25 litres of water per week on average.
GroTower – What does it grow?
The GroTower grows many different leafy greens.
Grow in 120 GroHoles
This means that you can grow 120 heads of lettuce and harvest in 42 days from seedling. Harvest 3 times every two weeks thereafter for baby leaves and allow to bolt thereafter for seed.
The GroTower requires a full seed tray of 200 seedlings which are to be transplanted into each GroHole.
We are hiring
This organisation started in February 2021 and we have grown very quickly. So much so that we are going through growing pains. Understaffing has been an issue recently and this is something that we are working on. If you are looking to earn an extra income performing sales and digital marketing or deliveries please reach out using the following link and apply via email.
We are hiring sales and digital marketing staff to handle customer relations and sales interactions such as Facebook group comments, likes, posts to push interested people to the Facebook page for more information and to relevant sales pages on GroSpace.
Customer reviews – coming soon
The main reason why we can not give you honest customer review data at the moment is that you are one of the early adopters of this product and as such, our customers are all friends and family. You are one of the first to consider adopting the GroTower on a small scale. We are here to support and train you so that you can go out and become a successful urban farmer and entrepreneur. Remember, you are in the business of PR and marketing. You need to go out and sell your business to restaurants.
What does this mean?
You will either copy and replicate the system and subsequently supply GroSpace farmers with kits or you will be joining our partner network of farmers and consumers.
These are the early days of something special and it is because of like-minded people like us that will decentralise the food industry and put the power of food back in the hands of the farmer by growing urban.
What do I get when I buy a GroTower?
You will be given a fully functional online shop called a GroShop where you will sell your produce, make online transactions and write great content to share your experience with others. Share your experience with others so that you can earn a 2% commission on sales of the GroTower when you share a link with a customer and they complete a purchase. Find your referral code when you register or visit your profile. You will also get a GroTower which is filled with a growing medium that is hydroponic in nature and all that you need to do is simply add water. Add water by filling your GroDrip. GroDrip is a simple drip watering system made from recycled PET bottles. Make a homemade GroDrip by drilling a hole in the lid of the bottle.
Repeat watering as necessary to ensure that GroMass remains moist.
Contract for farming on the GroTower
GroSpace will pre-purchase each GroHole for R5 through digital contract. The payment goes into escrow so that when your produce is harvested the produce is sold through the GroSpace supply chain of dropshippers.
Do you want to sell fresh produce grown on your own GroTower?
You can sell at R10 per lettuce: R10 x 120 = R1200
-R350 for rental and labour
=R850 less your commission to GroSpace depending on which package you are on. We recommend the Free package if you are starting up. If you have more than 3 GroTowers you can register on the Startup business package.
Who will sell my produce?
GroSpace can sell your products for you online. This means that you are insuring your investment. You should consider selling for yourself if you are supplying restaurants or a home delivery business.
Why sell for yourself?
You manage the risk of distribution so you can build your own sales channels and run your business accurately through GroSpace. You also earn upto 2.5x more than if you left the sale to GroSpace.
